About me
My railway interest really started in 1972 when I went to school in York and was able to see the fantastic Deltic locomotives heading north on the express trains. After the Deltic's finished at the end of 1981 I soon got very keen on the railways in Germany with the last few years of the V200 locos, and then I really started exploring Europe and beyond. I always took photos of the trains I travelled with, mostly prints. In 2002 I started taking digital photos with the Nikon 5700 camera, I soon upgraded to the 8700 as technology improved. I then moved on to Canon EOS 300, then to EOS 5D but I'm not a fan of full frame. I therefore changed to a Canon EOS 7D, for my needs, nowadays I prefer to Canon EOS 7D Mk II with a L series 24-105 mm lens

A week in Germany before the timetable change to sample some 232 action on the Nürnberg - Dresden services while they were still through diesels. I flew to Düsseldorf Niederrhein and had planned to head east for Kolomna action until realising the overnight was not running! So to Basel and the Lindau 234 turn and then the temporary 234 turn to Oberstdorf which was huge track. I went to München and NZ to Leipzig and a great day on some very huge Kolomna power on the Dresden - Nürnberg circuit, short overnight to get early start on next day also. 103.245 to München and NZ back to Leipzig Hbf and over the Dresden for last day of Kolomna action, ending up there for hotel later. First day on new timetable and reduced 232 action so went to Nürnberg for few moves, NZ again and the new 234 turn to Augsburg and then a 232 to Furth i Wald and up to Berlin for flight home
